Ride Height for body kits, on a 93 Maxima

[jongier]

Just wondering if i need to change the ride height to put a body kit on, I'm ready to order it just making sure I can even put it on before I push the "ok" button.

Welcome to NICO.

From everything I see, you should be able to put the kit on with no issues. I believe you could actually lower it with a kit on.

Shouldn't be necessary. It'll probably look better if you lower the car.What kit are you looking at getting?

I was looking at the Sarona Kit, I bought the ride with some cheap aftermarket 15's and I don't want to get the new coils before I get the new rims, I originally didn't want to get a body kit at all, but I'm having a hard time finding the OEM Rocker Panels, which are completely wasted on the project.

A bigger wheel/tire combo will make some difference in wheel gap, but since only half the added height goes to fill out the wheel well and the rest goes to raise the whole car, your "4x4" look might actually be amplified with stock-height suspension.

How much did you lower yours with your springs. I was looking at the 1/2" drop just to ensure no tire rub, with the 16s I figured that would work. I don't know if any bigger would fit lol.

Before you get the Sarona kit...take a look at Stillen's kit if you haven't already...much nicer looking IMO.

And get some 17"s...no bigger...15"s look too small (again..just my opinion!!)

Oh and WELCOME!!!

Oh....also....

EDIT: Oh bigger will fit...I had 18's on mine...I've seen 19's before...but I think 17's are the best bet. The ride quality suffers dramatically with 18's or bigger.

19x8.5's with a plus 35 offset and thats a 3 inch drop. 5 on 114.3 of course
